When you enter Mendocino you immediately feel the difference from Ft Bragg as there is one arts center or gallery after another. I also immediately understood why it was on Nina W. favorite city list and why she told me to make sure I visited it. Mendoncino has successfully combined artisan ship and a sophisticated life style, yet has maintained the charms of the past such as a half dozen of these water towers. Even both cities share the marvelous coastline, I got the feeling that Ft. Bragg was a bit more industrious. They both offer unique B&B accomodations; however Ft. Bragg offers more choices of motels and based on my limited observations - a bit biased - better beach access.
Mendocino offers very few cultivated front lawns per se; it is flowers, flowers, flowers or just native wildflowers. Can anyone identify that tall flower stalk. They grow between 15-20 feet tall and have those tiny lavender colored flowers
You also have to get load of this backyard.
And if I have convinced you to relocate to Mendoncino, than here is your first contact. No, Carol I have not put down a deposit yet.
Here is the view if you stand in front of the 4Sale sign.
Once again, thank you Nina W. for suggesting this part of California Rt. 1 for me. I don't think I would have come here without your suggestion.
